Explanation / Answer
In order to calculate operating cash flow, first we need to calculate net profit in order to calculate taxes..
Net Profit = 23000-16000-4000-1800 = $1,200
Taxes = 1,200 *0.35 = $420.
Now, we will get operating cash flow as :- Revenue- COGS - Taxes- Increase in Current assets + Increase in current liabilities
i.e 23,000-16,000-420-(5,900-.4,800) + (3,200-2,700) = $5,980.
2) Our asset consist of Current assets and fixed asset.
We know current asset increased from 4,800 t0 5,900 which means we invested 1,100 in current assets.
Our opening fixed asset was 14,000 of which 4,000 got depreciated and we had a closing balance of 17,000 which means fixed asset increased by 7,000 i.e. investment in fixed asset.
So, total cash flow from asset is 1,100 + 4,000 = $5,100 cash used in assets.
c) We know current liabilities i.e. creditors increased from 2,700 to 3,200 which means creditors increased by 500 which symbolises we had generated money from creditors which needs to be paid at a later period. So, cash flow from creditors is $500.
To calculate Cash flow to share holder we need to calculate Free cash flow to share holders which is Net profit - taxes + Depreciation - Debt issuance - Investment in Current assets and fixed assets + Increase in Current liabilities
i.e 1,200-480 + 4000 - 2,000 - 1,100 - 7,000 + 500 = (4,820) i.e. negative cash flow of 4,820 for shareholders.
